This week I thought it would be fun to share a couple simple little DIY gift bags that you could make. They would be perfect for any occasion really, but with Christmas just around the corner, they would be great for friends, teacher gifts or for your neighbours or co-workers . . . really anyone!
I chose to use the Nests of Winter Suite Collection as it is perfect for changing to whatever occasion you want to focus on. The colours and sentiments I chose are good for any winter occasion. If you wanted to make them Christmassy, all you would have to do is add a bit more red & green and change up the sentiments!
The YouTube replay is below to see exactly the measurements and how to make these projects.
Bag 1
I love projects where you can use your Designer Series Paper! This bag takes a 1/2 sheet of paper and I think it looks great with this birch wood pattern. The bag is 4 1/4" x 1 1/2" x 4" so you could fit a lovely little gift or treat inside.
Next, you can have fun creating any kind of tag that you would like. Of course, I love the Nests of Winter DSP because there are so many darling birds to choose from that you can just cut out of the paper! I didn't want this to look too Christmassy, so just by colouring the berries a lighter colour, you get a whole different feel.
Bag 2
This one is a little bit smaller. It measures 2 1/4" x 2 1/4" x 2 1/2". I used Boho Blue as the base for the bag and it creates a bit softer of a look. If you changed it out to Green or Red, then you've instantly got a more holiday feel.
Don't you just love this pattern of the DSP with the birch trees and the little birds?! It's definitely my favourite!
